Twitch Christ

The title is supposed to be a reference to 'Piss Christ', of course.

Thought I'd treat myself to making something especially stupid after last week's comic. I started to fall out of love with this joke about halfway through making it-- it seems a little lame and meme-y. Still, I think I did a good job with the details-- hiding little jokes in the names and twitch chat. Mostly, though, I feel like what I find so funny about this idea is a little hard to convey. Assuming for a moment that this actually did happen-- or heck, even taking it as a work of fiction-- Jesus coming back to life after getting killed must have been the hypest thing known to man at that point. This wasn't a trite concept that had been ruined by superhero comics back then; it was the fucking comeback of the century. That super cool guy we all like, who has magic powers and shit who tragically got caught and died. Bro... he fucking got up from his tomb and came back to life. Imagine the hype, like the Evo moment 37 of the olden days. Just the most unreal comeback of all time. Lets see some "be not afraids" in the chat y'all!

The second painting is by Heinrich Hofmann. No luck finding the creator of the first, unfortunately.
